Kick and Twitch Streamer Nickmercs Faces Backlash for Transphobic Remarks
Kick and Twitch streamer NICKMERCS is once again making waves on social media for making transphobic remarks on one of his streams, and just like last time, the popular Call of Duty player isn’t backing down.
During one of his streams of Elden Ring, NICKMERCS read aloud a comment calling him a transphobe while he was struggling with one of the game’s bosses. NICKMERCS answered, “There are no trans individuals.” Later, he informed his audience that he was going to “break it down” by stating “penis, man.” Vagina, girl. Done!” Needless to say, this response has not gone over well with some people.
But the controversial comments don’t end there, as NICKMERCS responded to the backlash in a subsequent stream. The streamer responded with obscenity, saying he does not care about the outrage and will stick to his beliefs. “I do not care about numbers, cuts, or anything. “It does not worry me,” NICKMERCS stated. “You know, I have a specific opinion on everything. And I have stated my piece.” He went on to say that he does not want others to dictate how he and those closest to him think.
These comments came one year after NICKMERCS made similar remarks on social media, responding to a message about LGBTQ+ demonstrators being attacked with “They should leave tiny children alone.” That is the true issue. This tweet, combined with the subsequent doubling down, resulted in the removal of his Modern Warfare 2 Operator Bundle from the game.
